A small jar fired in Hoeryong or Myongchon, North Hamgyong Province, in the Joseon Dynasty’s latter half. It forms an abacus shape, and the sea cucumber glaze flowing along the uneven surface of the body creates a wabi-sabi atmosphere. While this sea cucumber glaze is believed to share roots with the Jun-type ware of the Yuan dynasty, its exact origins remain veiled in mystery, with no concrete evidence linking it to northeastern China.

Although there is a custom to heat the vessel directly in the area, and many have burned bottoms, there is no trace of that in this piece. There are no noticeable defects other than a minor chip on the inside of the rim.
